To better understand the new Double Serum, we answer some frequently asked questions:

What is it?

It's a two-in-one serum—arguably the brand's best—that combines all the best components of water-soluble and oil-soluble ingredients.

What does it do?

Overall, it smoothens the skin, brings back the skin's radiance, firms, and evens skin tone. The serum promises results in seven days, according to a satisfaction test involving 362 women.

How does it work?

For years, the Double Serum has been the go-to product for women trying to reverse the skin's aging process. The serum's compound ingredients work overtime to target the signs of aging and help stimulate the skin's vital functions: regeneration, oxygenation, nutrition, hydration, and protection. Researchers believe the secret to youthful skin is to ensure the cell's functions, listed above, run smoothly.

On a more scientific scale, the researchers at the skincare brand have discovered there's a cellular "listening system"(lipid microdomains) that make it possible for cells to "hear" messages from their environment. This is what the brand calls the language of the skin.

What's it made of?

The latest addition to the serum's formulation is turmeric extract, which health nuts have been praising in the past year. Throughout the years, turmeric has been used for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

The use of turmeric was inspired by the exceptional "communication" characteristics of tumerone, which the extract is concentrated from. This star ingredient is believed to preserve the cells' "listening" ability, enhance cellular communication, and optimize the cell's five vital functions.

Apart from this new ingredient, the serum also consists of extracts from 18 high-performing plants, each with a role in the serum's ultimate goal, and two plant-based ingredients. A few featured ingredients include kiwi, oat, and organic teasel.

The customizable bottle has two options which vary according to the season and to the skin type. Women can either use a tiny drop in the summer, when the climate is warm and the skin is usually oily. For drier and colder temperatures, women with normal, dry, or sensitive skin may indulge in a power shot.
